Keith Haring believed that painting could transcend the mundane, creating deeper meaning and connection. A key figure in the 1980s New York art scene, his bold, vibrant work tackled social justice, sexuality, and the human condition. Inspired by icons like Basquiat and James Baldwin, Powell often revisits these figures in his sketches.

Mark Powell

With the humble Bic Biro as his tool of choice, Brighton-based Powell creates intricate portraits on antique documents. His favoured subjects are the elderly, a natural fit for the paper he uses and his detailed style: postmarks and typography merge with pen strokes to create a captivating whole. In contrast, Powell's paintings (on cardboard and other found materials) exhibit street art and advertising influences while maintaining extraordinary detail.
